Bye Bye Lake Erie!! Strong winds will likely expose part of the lakebed near the shore in the western basin Wednesday afternoon into early Thanksgiving. The water level in Toledo is currently expected to drop 24 inches BELOW low water datum! There is currently a split in the computer model data. The European computer model is the strongest on the wind speed and has strong winds continuing for more than 36 hours. If this solution develops, the water level may drop a little more than current projections. Safe boat navigation will not be possible. Winds are expected to gust around 40 to 50 mph on land out of the west to southwest and up to 60 mph over Lake Erie. Not only will this push the water to the east, it will create some monster waves north of Cleveland to Buffalo, NY.
